I like it!

What first jumps to my mind are the shadows. Look kinda weird, as they go in three diffrent directions. Second: the bottles look distorted. Short neck, and the sides are not vertical. Was that your intention? I'm no expert on beer bottles though...

Personally, I like the shadows. I also, personally, like Heineken... I think I would have helped myself to a couple and then started shooting, just saying!

I had no real "direction" with this shot. I just sorta had the idea. But what i was mainly focused on was the shadows, and the green light passing through the glass. The shadows go in different directions because all I used as a light source was my desk lamp being shown directly above them.
I feel that the shot turned out pretty good considering i used my home made photo booth. AKA: 7 white pieces of paper with one desk lamp above them.

I think it looks way neat. I have a similar set-up for practicing product photography. A tad ghetto, but can work if you make it! LOL. Anyway, did you use your flash? I am assuming not, but just thought I would ask.

I did not use my flash, as that would have distorted the shadows. The focus with this shot was the light coming in between the bottles and the shadows that were cast by them.
Yes, my "photo booth" is ghetto but it got the job done. I dont have a huge budget for the top end photography products so im forced to improvise. light room can fix the mistakes i make as well and make the final product look more "professional".
I am very proud of this picture, and im glad that my photography skill is improving and that i am getting some praise for my work.
Thanks guys.
